Comms Regression Sentinel

Mission

We need this skill because complex systems require explanations humans can act on quickly. This specific skill prevents unnoticed quality drift after updates.

Activation Cues

• Task requires baseline-delta detection in Communication and Explainability.
• Task needs explicit risk controls, approval gates, and traceable outcomes.
• Task output must include artifact handoff for humans and agents.

Execution Plan

1. Define the scope and success metrics for Comms Regression Sentinel, including at least three measurable KPIs tied to misinterpretation and trust erosion.
2. Design and version the input/output contract for decision factors, uncertainty markers, and audience summaries, then add schema validation and failure-mode handling.
3. Implement the core capability using baseline-delta detection, and produce regression watchlists with deterministic scoring.
4. Integrate the skill into swarm orchestration: task routing, approval gates, retry strategy, and rollback controls.
5. Add unit, integration, and simulation tests that explicitly cover misinterpretation and trust erosion, then run regression baselines.
6. Deploy behind a feature flag, monitor telemetry/alerts for two release cycles, and iterate thresholds based on observed outcomes.
